Use zip instead of tar.gz
Then when you transfer you use "unzip -a"
zip archives generally don't compress quite as well
as tar.gz archives but they certainly are a large
improvement over no compression at all. Also, this
technique will work in either direction. "unzip -a"
writes text files appropriate for the OS you are
using.
